Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recording Child-Welfare Services: Report of the Committee on Case Recording in Public Child Welfare Agencies in Rural Areas
The report presented by the committee which undertook this study undoubtedly has a broader application than its designation would indicate, but it is directed primarily to the 500 local child-welfare workers now engaged in providing child-welfare services in the most neglected areas of need, and to the workers in State welfare depart ments who are helping them to develop adequate service.
The central theme of the committee's report is that the welfare of the child depends upon the welfare of his family. The principles of case recording are discussed from the point of view of services needed by children and not from the point of view of agency functions. Case recording is dealt with as an integral part of case treatment, and the discussions of the committee are therefore focused upon the principles of adequate case treatment related to the total needs of individual children. The committee considers that the most important purpose of the case record is to serve as a guide to clear understanding of the problem and definite direction of treatment. It holds that the record ing process should be of definite value to the child, to the community, and to the worker.
